Why do they call it hamburger when it's a beef burger?
Because it's an evolution of the Hamburg steak, which was named for the city of Hamburg.
Also: doesn't the word "burger" stem from the word "hamburger"?
No, no, it stems from hambourgeois!
Yep.
TIL. For the longest of times I just assumed it was literally ham and never even considered ordering it from a menu!
Because you ham in the burger out hot eat the burger
